Being on a fast boat is extremely dangerous for your karma in handicap races <img src="http://www.catsailor.com/forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />
You can win with a huge margin becouse slower boats loose all pressure after you finished, or you can loose all pressure while the boats behind catch up to you. It works the opposite way for slower boats, so over time it will even out. But, if everybody are moving slow, time runs faster for the fast boats becouse of the difference in handicaps.


Jimi, my family is aiming to move to Trondhjem (the same city the Norwegian University of Technology [and Science, shortened N.U.T.S] is in) in the next year or so if everything works out as planned. I might bring the Tornado up there, but will bring a 20 footer no matter what for distance racing. The deal with the admiral (wife) is that I can also move into the F-16 class. Hope you are prepared to continue sailing hi-performance cats! Trondhjem is terra incognito when it comes to cats, especially cats that moves fast, so the ground is fertile for recruitment. The yachting club is positive to both parking/storage and participation..
